2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
Bir süre sonra Davut Filistliler'i yenip boyunduruğu altına aldı ve Meteg-Amma'yı Filistliler'in yönetiminden çıkardı.
2 David’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
Moavlılar'ı da bozguna uğrattı. Onları yere yatırıp iple ölçtü. Ölçtüğü iki sırayı öldürdü, bir bütün sırayı sağ bıraktı. Moavlılar Davut'un haraç ödeyen köleleri oldular.
3 David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] the Euphrates River.
Davut Fırat'a kadar krallığını yeniden kurmaya giden Sova Kralı Rehov oğlu Hadadezer'i de yendi.
4 David’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 100 chariots.
Bin yedi yüz atlısıyla yirmi bin yaya askerini ele geçirdi. Yüz savaş arabası için gereken atların dışındaki bütün atları da sakatladı.
5 When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
Sova Kralı Hadadezer'e yardıma gelen Şam Aramlıları'ndan yirmi iki bin kişiyi öldürdü.
6 Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
Sonra Şam Aramlıları'nın ülkesine askeri birlikler yerleştirdi. Onlar da Davut'un haraç ödeyen köleleri oldular. RAB Davut'u gittiği her yerde zafere ulaştırdı.
7 David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Davut Hadadezer'in komutanlarının taşıdığı altın kalkanları alıp Yeruşalim'e götürdü.
8 They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
Ayrıca Hadadezer'in yönetimindeki Betah ve Berotay kentlerinden bol miktarda tunç aldı.
9 When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Hama Kralı Toi, Davut'un Hadadezer'in bütün ordusunu bozguna uğrattığını duydu.
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from gold, silver, and bronze.
Toi Kral Davut'u selamlamak ve Hadadezer'le savaşıp yendiği için onu kutlamak üzere oğlu Yoram'ı ona gönderdi. Çünkü Toi Hadadezer'le sürekli savaşmıştı. Yoram Davut'a altın, gümüş, tunç armağanlar getirdi.
11 King David dedicated all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
Kral Davut bu armağanları yendiği bütün uluslardan –Aram, Moav, Ammonlular, Filistliler ve Amalekliler'den– ele geçirdiği altın ve gümüşle birlikte RAB'be adadı. Bunun yanısıra Sova Kralı Rehov oğlu Hadadezer'den yağmalanan altınla gümüşü de RAB'be adadı.
12 They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
13 When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
Davut Tuz Vadisi'nde on sekiz bin Edomlu öldürüp dönünce üne kavuştu.
14 David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
Edom'un her yanına askeri birlikler yerleştirdi. Edomlular'ın tümü Davut'un köleleri oldular. RAB Davut'u gittiği her yerde zafere ulaştırdı.
15 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
Bütün İsrail'de krallık yapan Davut halkına doğruluk ve adalet sağladı.
16 Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
Seruya oğlu Yoav ordu komutanı, Ahilut oğlu Yehoşafat devlet tarihçisiydi.
17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
Ahituv oğlu Sadok'la Aviyatar oğlu Ahimelek kâhin, Seraya yazmandı.
18 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
Yehoyada oğlu Benaya Keretliler'le Peletliler'in komutanıydı. Davut'un oğullarıysa kâhindi.
